Artificial leather for touch emulation
15.04.2024
In a modern technology world where distance is becoming increasingly commonplace, maintaining connection and a sense of closeness is important. Recent developments in artificial skin by German scientists from Saarland University represent a new era in virtual interactions. German researchers from Saarland University have developed ultra-thin films that can transmit the sensation of touch over a distance. This cutting-edge technology provides new opportunities for virtual communication, especially for those who find themselves far from their loved ones. The ultra-thin films developed by the researchers, just 50 micrometers thick, can be integrated into textiles and worn like a second skin. These films act as sensors that recognize tactile signals from mom or dad, and as actuators that transmit these movements to the baby. Parents' touch to the fabric activates sensors that react to pressure and deform the ultra-thin film. This ... >>

| Random news from the Archive Samurai watching the crowd
16.06.2010
The streets of big cities, supermarkets, subway stations, railway stations and airports are hung with surveillance cameras. The problem is that vigilant operators must constantly look at their monitors.
The University of London has created a self-learning computer program "Samurai", which independently detects suspiciously behaving people in the crowd. "Samurai" raises the alarm if he finds someone's behavior strange.
For example, a woman suddenly appeared at the airport with a long stick in her hands, scurrying here and there. In response to an alarm signal, the operator looks at the screen, determines that it is a cleaner with a mop, and cancels the alarm. In the future, the program will not object to the appearance of cleaners.
In the supermarket, "Samurai" will be able to learn to distinguish between an indecisive, long-term buyer choosing a product from a thief, looking closely at where something can be stolen unnoticed.
